An Excuse to Bribe

“We were told that we can take 3 bottles of alcohol with us with issue of permit… Traffic police officer threatened to seize our vehicle for illegal transport of liquor if we had refused to pay bribe”
This incident shared by a citizen from Karnataka shows how traffic inspectors extort money from people. Whether it is for drunken driving or simply carrying liquor, our ‘responsible’ police often look for excuses to fleece citizens.
